  • The effect of fish oil supplements on blood pressure

    Richard P Lofgren, Timothy J Wilt et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1993Citada por: 2Referencias: 14

    We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study to determine the effects of fish oil supplementation on blood pressure in middle-aged men. Subjects were randomly assigned to consume either 20 g of fish oil or safflower oil for 12 weeks and then consume the other oil for an additional 12 weeks after a 4-week washout period. We found no significant changes from the pretreatment value in systolic or diastolic blood pressure with the …
